Comment:

This mix was inspired by learning (via a recent, impressive-as-ever Dom mix) Bill Evans and Herbie Mann had done a `cover' of Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1. Not at all surprising, of course, as the influence of Satie on Evans' composing and playing is unmistakable (and, of course, on a stream of jazz that runs from Evans through to Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea and Michel Petrucciani, to name just three). I have but one Satie disc, a Naxos cheapie that nonetheless has a lot of the composer's `greatest hits,' and serves the purpose of this mix quite nicely. For variety, and a (very) slight change of pace, I've included two tributes to both men as the mix's centerpiece. // (I was tempted to post this under the "sleep" heading, as this is a VERY mellow mix, but thought that might cheapen things. It's obviously not at all a "jazzy" mix, but I thought "jazz" a more respectable heading than "sleep".)

Great idea and gorgeous execution. "Peace Piece", for instance, is one of my favorite jazz tracks of all-time.

Very nice! - I love both Evans and Satie. Tell me what mood the alternating counterpoint evokes. How is it with dinner for 4?

Ken Vandermark is another one who finds inspiration in the music of Erik Satie. There is a track on his solo record called Panels dedicated to Satie and Piet Mondrian. Great idea, great mix
